"Granted, the Sam & Max ad is clearly based on the iconic War of the Worlds image of the alien hand on the Earth"

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but that "iconic image" of the alien hand on the earth is from the 2005 movie right? How exactly is that movie "iconic"?

I would have assumed the picture to be based on the obviously iconic opening images of "2001: A Space Odyssey".

Ok, seriously, Activision, WTF?

Wouldn't it have been easier to just use the Spiderman 2 engine and paste a new story and characters in? What were they thinking?

He has the wrist strap on wrong :|

Just remember everyone: This is Factor 5. What they can do is not necessarily what all devs can do. I'm sure you've all heard of Star Wars Rogue Squadron II for the 'cube right? 15 million polygons / sec, more than any other game on the 'cube, and it was a launch game. No game matched it last gen. Factor 5 is the master of programming.

Jeff. Dude. Xbox Media Center does all this and more. Not to plug it here, but seriously, $50 for an Xbox, 30 minutes of your time.

Um...
Rockstar North is lcoated in Scotland.
GTA is NOT an American game.
The world doesnt revolve around you yanks.

"...resulting in brightness akin to staring at the world's largest star."

I never realized earth had stars in it. How mesmerizing.

Gamestop has completely ruined too many franchises, IMO.
I would go to the mall before the takeover and pick up a used game for $15. Now, I go there and see a used copy of Metroid Prime 2 echoes priced at $49.99. It's pathetic. The employees actually apologize for it.

Um...if I remember correctly, the Wii does not have Dram, it had 1TSRAM or something like that, which raised production costs a lot.
Bogus?

Dammit...now I look like a jackass...
The Xbox 360 sold 72 units in europe. My bad.
Stupid neglect of comment editing...
